Why is C++...

...so bad? Why does it have such a bad reputation?

I'm an experienced C++ programmer and, while the language has warts, I can't understand the reason for the enormous amount of criticism against the language.

I'd like to hear the honest opinions of /prog/rammers in this regard.

I agree. When I see scheme code that other people have written, all I see is imperative stuff that relies on set! and pseudo object systems. It's like it tries to be this different, simple language, but people end up using it to mimic all the normal stuff they are used to in mainstream imperative languages, but the lack of direct support for these techniques make it more inefficient, and more awkward for reading.
